Precautions When Displaying a Still Image
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen
• Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours as it can cause screen image retention.
This image retention is also known as "screen burn".
To avoid such image retention, reduce the degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a still image.
Watching the LCD TV in 4:3 format for a long period of time may leave traces of borders displayed on the
left, right and center of the screen caused by the difference of light emission on the screen.
Playing a DVD or a game console may cause a similar effect to the screen.
Damages caused by the above effect are not covered by the Warranty.
Displaying still images from Video games and PC for longer than a certain period of time may produce partial after-images.
To prevent this effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and ‘contrast’ when displaying still images.
© 2007 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
Precauciones al mostrar en la pantalla una imagen fija
La imagen fija puede causar daños permanentes en la pantalla del televisor.
No deje una imagen fija en la pantalla LCD durante más de dos horas ya que se podría producir una retención de la imagen en
la pantalla. Este fenómeno de retención de imágenes también se denomina “quemadura de pantalla”.
Para evitar que se produzca esa persistencia de la imagen, reduzca el nivel de luminosidad y de contraste de la pantalla
cuando muestre imágenes fijas.
El uso del televisor LCD en formato 4:3 durante un tiempo prolongado puede dejar rastros de bordes en las
partes izquierda, derecha y central de la pantalla debido a las diferencias en la emisión lumínica de la pantalla.
La reproducción de un DVD o el uso de una consola de videojuegos pueden provocar un efecto similar en la
pantalla. Reproducir un DVD o una videoconsola puede causar un efecto similar en la pantalla. La garantía no
cubre estos daños.
Ver imágenes fijas de videojuegos y PC durante más tiempo del indicado puede producir restos de imágenes parciales.
Para evitar este efecto, reduzca el ‘brillo’ y el ‘contraste’ cuando vea imágenes fijas.

Remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place if you won’t be using the remote control for a
long time.
The remote control can be used up to about 23 feet from the TV.
(Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries should last for about one year.)
If the remote control doesn’t work, check the following:
1. Is the TV power on?
2. Are the plus and minus ends of the batteries reversed?
3. Are the batteries drained?
4. Is there a power outage, or is the power cord unplugged?
5. Is there a special fluorescent light or neon sign nearby?

Connecting VHF and UHF Antennas
If your antenna has a set of leads that look like the diagram to the right, see "Antennas with
300 Ω Flat Twin Leads" below.
If your antenna has one lead that looks like the diagram to the right, see "Antennas with 75
Ω Round Leads".
If you have two antennas, see "Separate VHF and UHF Antennas".
1. Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on a 300-75 adapter
(not supplied).
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2. Plug the adaptor into the ANT 2 IN (CABLE) terminal on the back of the TV.
ANT 2 IN
(CALBE)
Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads
If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or "rabbit ears") that has 300 Ω twin at leads, follow the directions
below.
1. Plug the antenna lead into the ANT 1 IN (AIR) terminal on the back of the TV.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before con-
necting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).
1. Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.
2. Plug the combiner into the ANT 1 IN (AIR) terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.

After you have made this connection, set the A/B switch to the "A" position for normal viewing. Set the A/B switch to the "B" position to
view scrambled channels. (When you set the A/B switch to "B", you will need to tune your TV to the cable boxs output channel, which is
usually channel 3 or 4.)
Connecting to a Cable Box that Descrambles Some Channels
If your cable box descrambles only some channels (such as premium channels), follow the instructions below. You will need a two-
way splitter, an RF (A/B) switch, and four lengths of RF cable. (These items are available at most electronics stores.)
2. Connect this cable to a two-way splitter.
3. Connect an RF cable between the OUTPUT
terminal on the splitter and the IN terminal
on the cable box.
4. Connect an RF cable between the
ANT OUT terminal on the cable box and
the B–IN terminal on the RF(A/B) switch.
1. Find and disconnect the cable that is
connected to the ANT IN terminal on your
cable box.
This terminal might be labeled "ANT IN",
"VHF IN" or simply, "IN".
5. Connect another cable between the other
OUT terminal on the splitter and the A–IN
terminal on the RF (A/B) switch.
6. Connect the last RF cable between the
OUT terminal on the RF (A/B) switch and
the ANT IN terminal on the rear of the TV.
